Another Day in Paradise?: Humanity, Charity and the Urban Poor
Our founder recently participated in a conversation/debate about how to effectively work with the poor at an event sponsored by the American Enterprise Institute. There, Ismael focused on how compassion must be a personal virtue or it becomes a fraud. Bureaucratized and professionalized compassion engenders a disconnect between reward and accomplishment. Free individuals in voluntary association can better serve the poor.
The Self Reliance Club at the Freedom & Virtue Institute
The Self-Reliance Club is a pilot project of our institute that attempts to model the values and principles we stand for. Elementary and middle school Students from poor backgrounds join our club and open savings accounts. Every week at school they engage in meaningful educational and entrepreneurial tasks to earn money. Additionally, their entire family receives financial literacy education. By the end of the school year they have earned enough to buy their own school supplies. No hand-outs treating them as objects of our larguesse. They stand tall and can say, “I did it!” Their school becomes a SelfReliance Zone where everything that happens is aligned with the idea of self worth through achievement.
